SDG target 6.6 seeks to halt the degradation and destruction of water-related ecosystems and to assist the recovery of those already degraded. SDG indicator 6.6. 1 tracks changes in different types of water-related ecosystems, enabling decision makers to determine the extent of ecosystem change over time.

Target 15: By 2020, ecosystem resilience and the contribution of biodiversity to carbon stocks have been enhanced, through conservation and restoration, including restoration of at least 15 per cent of degraded ecosystems, thereby contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation and to combating desertification.

• The integrity, connectivity and resilience of all ecosystems are maintained,enhanced, or restored, substantially increasing the area of natural ecosystems by 2050;
• Human induced extinction of known threatened species is halted, and, by2050, extinction rate and risk of all species are reduced tenfold, and the abundance of native wild species is increased to healthy and resilient levels;
• The genetic diversity within populations of wild and domesticated species,is maintained, safeguarding their adaptive potential.

• Biodiversity is sustainably used and managed and nature’s contributions to people, including ecosystem functions and services, are valued, maintained and enhanced, with those currently in decline being restored, supporting the achievement of sustainable development, for the benefit of present and future generations by 2050.

Target: By 2020, ecosystem services have been enhanced through promoting economic values
of biodiversity and ecosystems and promoting benefits sharing.
14. Conduct a valuation and accounting of direct and indirect goods and services of biodiversity

resources and ecosystems
15. Safeguard and maintain ecosystem services through promoting the Integrated Water

Resource Management Plan
16. Develop and promote understanding of national policies on access and benefit-sharing arising from utilization of genetic resources, including biosafety measures

This BIOPAMA project target aims to assess which areas are potentially more vulnerable to nature-tourism and econmic crisis triggered by C19 pandemic, and similar conditions of tourism and global economic crisis that could occur in the future. We've built a composite indicator of vulnerability based on three dimensions: biodiversity exposure, economic sensitivity and lack of response capacity. The overall vulnerability indicator can be used to rank countries across the ACP and target specific actions in combination with other criteria.
